[issue13639] UnicodeDecodeError when creating tar.gz with unicode name

[Jason R. Coombs]

Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com> added the comment:

I also feel (1) or (3) is best for this issue. If there is a _better_ 
implementation, it should be reserved for a separate improvement to Python 
3.2+.

I lean slightly toward (3) because it would support filenames with Unicode 
characters other than latin-1 (as long as the file system allows it to be 
saved), because I suspect it would enable tests such as this to pass:
